Wide Sargasso Sea

In the beginning, She was stunning and pure,When he first saw her, he fainted to the floor.She was distant and arrogant from the start,She did not see the fragile state of his heart.She fell in love with him on that very day,She became softer in every way.Chorus:Even though they were so in love,They drew a line in the sand just because.They did not know each other, they did not trust.The only thing that they did together was to make love.So paradise found was like paradise to him.Oh yes he loved her but he was still an Englishman.Tropical birds and the heat and the ocean,Oh it drove her crazy drove her away from him.ChorusShe burned his house down saying you may have forgotten me,But you'll remember this, you fell to the ground when you saw this.My face, my eyes, my lipsYou may have forgotten me, but you'll never forget that kiss.ChorusThe big house burned down all around her,In the smoke and the fire.In the devastation they never found her.She went back into her red dress back to her white house to her ocean.And after that no words were spoken about the two of them ever again.ChorusIn the beginning she was stunning and pure.In the smoke and the fire they never found her.She went back into her ocean, back to her white house.For a while they were so in love.For a while they were so in love.She burned his house down.My face, my eyes, my lips.You may have forgotten themYou may have forgotten themYou may have forgotten them
